Lots of reasons, location, close golf cart ride to everything, lots of Championship golfing options, mature landscaping, no turnpike issues, little or no bond, multiple town squares, many homes have significant upgrades, familiarity with area from visiting friends over the years, etc……. The newer areas will eventually mature and have many of the desirable features of the more mature areas, but at our age we want to maximize the fun factor right now while our window of good health is still wide open.
